Gorrimm
Gorilla Magicus Montanus
Magical Creature - Mountains
The Gorrimm is a massive primate species native to the mountains of Aethoria. These powerful creatures are known for their strength and their ability to manipulate stone magic, making them both fascinating and formidable.
Physical Characteristics
Gorrimms are massive gorillas, standing up to 12 feet tall and weighing over 2,000 pounds. Their most distinctive feature is their fur, which is composed of a unique material that seems to absorb and redirect stone magic. Their skin is a deep black color, with intricate patterns that glow with magical energy, and their eyes are a bright amber color that seems to contain ancient wisdom.
Ecological Role
As magical creatures, Gorrimms play a unique role in the ecosystem of the mountains. Their presence is said to bring stability to the land, and they are often seen as guardians of ancient stone magic. Their territories are marked by unusual formations of rock and stone, creating fertile grounds in the most barren of mountains.
Human Interactions
Humans have long been fascinated by the Gorrimm's strength and magical abilities. While these creatures are generally peaceful, they are extremely rare and difficult to approach. Some scholars believe that Gorrimms were once more common, but have become increasingly rare due to the spread of human settlements and climate change.
Guild Advisory
The Adventurer's Guild classifies Gorrimms as a protected species. While they are not typically dangerous to humans, they should be observed from a distance and not disturbed. The guild maintains records of Gorrimm sightings to help protect their habitats.
